O-tac115 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Jack looks a little different, but the technology has changed and it has been a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show is great. And rewatching the past seasons of Samurai Jack is not required although it would enrich the viewing experience. The current season blends Mad Max style of story-telling with less bombast and adrenaline. The animation is a marked improvement to the previous seasons while not so jarring (a la Xiaolin Chronicles). But personally, Jack's new design (both unshaven and clean) felt a bit weird to me. For older fans, there are easter eggs and references galore but it does not hinder the story for any new viewers. The change in Jack is like the change in Max between Mad Max Thunderdome and Mad Max Fury Road. We know he's been through a lot and is suffering from PTSD which makes want to root for him more to beat it. Lastly, the atmosphere that engrosses you into his story remain intact. The beautiful backgrounds, the raw emotions and new mature themes all make it an awesome show to watch. 9.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoSees Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Nearly forgot to ask: Did you guys enjoy the new episode? And are you guys excited for the last episode?! [I'm not doing any personal reviews anymore] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbelly Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Great Season, but I have to admit, if I would compare it to other seasons, it would probably be the weakest. But the thing is I can't, it'sway to different, just by simply having a continuous storyline, instead of self contained episodes. I dunno, doesn't feel like a proper season of Samurai Jack, but a deliberate attempt at closure for series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipertongn Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 last episode is coming out tonight, i'm quite excited to see the turn of events. Finally getting closure for this cartoon after 10 years xD. I have an idea of what's going to happen though, so much feels in so few episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predaking-117 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just watched the final episode. I won't spoil anything, but wow. I'm glad I followed this series to the end. Thank you, Gendy Tartakovsky, for one of the best cartoons, ever. Of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could've been better and seemed rushed but overall, I am satisfied with the ending. Who knows, maybe Gennedy will release an extended version or some deleted storyboards. That would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hujan86 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Should've made 12 or 13 episodes rather than compressed everything in 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a lot of us feel that way, but maybe it was Adult Swim that told Genndy that Season 5 can only have 10 episodes, and it was a take it or leave it situation. I wouldn't know, but I'm guessing it went down someway like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know, but I'm guessing it went down someway like that. I remember during the Q&A he did with his wife on the premiere he said some things that hinted (to me anyway) that Cartoon Network was unsure about a big enough following from back in the day to justify a longer season to finish the story finally. Spoiler alert: Spoiler All in all, I thought it served to drive home Jack's intense desire to finish things. Regardless if they were being rushed to finish it in 10 episodes, Jack had been waiting 50+ years to finish it. He already knows his sword is stronger and capable of killing Aku so they didn't need to drag out the fight. Imagine being mentally and physically tortured for 50 years and finally (and very suddenly) being thrown back to finally end all of it? You wouldn't want to mess around.
